Hi all, i have a new boblee signature i just bought, the bow is 60 inches and the draw weight is 57 at 28, i draw 27 1/4 so i know the poundage will be around 55, will a 2018 arrow work for my setup, i always modify my inserts to accept the goldtip weights so i can always add weight to the insert if i have to, thanks for any help and suggestions.i usually shoot my arrows between 29 to 30 inches.

The eastonarchery.com site has a "Charts and Size Selector" page.  You can enter several parameters and get their recommendations.  I'm sure the more knowledgeable members (that includes about everyone) can tell you off the top of their heads.

I think the 2018 will work fine, but there's only one way to be sure. I know that doesn't help much. I shoot 2018s in my #55 bow, you should be good. I leave mine a little long though.

I am shooting two bows about the same weight as yours. I have a PL(Widow) that shoots 52 pounds at my draw length and both 2016 and 2018s shoot great out them.

I also shoot the same two arrow sizes out of my other PL that is at 58 at my draw length.  The 2018 at 27 1/4 with 175 grain head gives me 11.5grains per pound of draw length.  My 2016s are cut a little shorter and only give me 9.6grains per pound in the 52 pounder,  a little light for my 58.  

I perfer 9.0 to 12 grains of weight per pound of draw weight.
